Cogwheels are the base of your power transmission. They can be made of various material and have different properties. They can be placed in the world on the side of a solid block and will connect to nearby cogwheels.

Every type of cogwheel has 2 attributes:

The maximum speed it can run. A cogwheel can never turn faster than its max speed and will slow down the entire mechanism if it’s faster.

The speed loss per cogwheel. Each cogwheel you add will slow down the entire mechanism by this number for each one. The speed loss can be nullified if you can run the mechanism faster than the maximum speed.

Combine a lever and any type of cogwheel to get a Switch Cogwheel They can be activated by right-clicking or by giving a redstone signal. When not powered by redstone, they will work like a normal cogwheel. When they received a redstone signal, they will stop the entire mechanism. Flipping the lever will reverse this behavior.

The crank is the easiest way of producing energy but it’s not an automated one.

Right-clicking a cogwheel will makes it turn at a maximum of 40 rpm. Shift-Right-Clicking will do the same thing but in the opposite direction. The crank will take damage each time. It can also break cogwheels faster.

The first machine that uses mechanical energy. The pounder will try to place the block in its input slot just under it and smash it. Smashing blocks can have different results. Most block will simply drop themselves but others can give interesting outputs. Examples:

Breaking an ore block will give you 1-3 fragments of that ore. Each fragment can be smelted into an ingot.

Breaking a wood log will give you 4-5 planks. Breaking planks will give you 2-3 sticks.

Breaking wool will give you 3-4 strings.

Breaking cobblestone will give you 3-4 rocks. Rocks can be thrown and deal 1 heart of damage.

To make the pounder work, simply attach a cogwheel on it and make it turn. The speed of the pounder depends of the speed of the cogwheel attached to it.

The steam motor will produce mechanical energy out of steam. It can output up to 180 rpm and use steam every tick. One steam unit gives 60 rpm. The output will be reduced depending on the cogwheels attached to it.

The steam pipe can distribute steam from machines to others. Two steam pipes cannot cross each other. You can change what the pipe is connected to by right-clicking with a crank. The pipes can be used to connect multiple steam generator to a steam motor, or to a tank.

The sprinkler will keep an area of crops hydrated. It requires water and mechanical energy. The size of the area will change depending of the speed of the cogwheel up to a maximum of 7×7. It will also speed up the growth of plants in the area.

The liquid drainer is basically a bucket that contains ten times the amount of a normal bucket. When holding this item, the right-clicking of any block is deactivated. Right-clicking on a liquid will gather it into the drainer. If it contains a liquid right-clicking a block will drop the contained liquid in the world if possible. Shift-right-clicking will only gather liquid and not drop them.

The drainer will also work with any tank compatible with the Liquid API. Right-clicking a tank will attempt to fill the tank with the content of the drainer. Shift-right-clicking will attempt to drain liquid from the tank. It works the same way as a waterproof pipe connected to the block clicked. It can contains any kind of liquid but only one type of liquid at once.

The Liquid Drainer cannot be placed on a input or output slot in a tank’s GUI due to limitation of the Liquid API.

When connected to a cogwheel, the fan will push or pull entities in front of it depending of the direction of the cogwheel. It has a range of 8 blocks. When right-clicked with a crank, it will change the facing direction. If the direction chosen is already the same, it will change the turn direction of the fan (making it pull instead of push and vice-versa)

First make a sawblade Then you can make the mechanical saw in a ServoTable

The mechanical saw will damage every living entity touching it when powered by mechanical energy. The damage depends on the speed of the cogwheel. Giving a redstone signal will extend the saw one block longer. This will break the block in front if it’s made of wood.
